A tree removal project will close the intersection at 3rd Street and Lincoln Avenue to traffic on Wednesday, August 5th, from 5:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Detour signs directing traffic around the closure will be posted. Flaggers will be on site to help drivers navigate through the project area.
Access to homes and businesses in the area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area as needed.
Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
The project may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 575-6005 for more information.
As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
For more information about the project, contact Streets and Traffic Operations Manager Joe Rosenlund at 509-576-6430.
